  • Draft Yarra Strategic Plan
    PART 2 LAND USE FRAMEWORK Draft Yarra Strategic Plan Part 2 63 The Yarra River at the centre of planning LAND USE The Yarra Strategic Plan provides a regional framework for land use planning and decision-making on both public and freehold private land at a local level. The framework complements the FRAMEWORK collaborative actions set out in Part 1 by ensuring all activities within the corridor align with the performance objectives in the next 10 years. Purpose of the land use framework The land use framework sets out the spatial directions for the Yarra Strategic Plan, as required by Sections 20 and 21 of the Yarra River Protection (Wilip-gin Birrarung murron) Act 2017 (the Act). To deliver on the intent of the Act, while also reflecting the unique characteristics of the Yarra River, the land use framework provides direction at a whole-of-river scale and within each of the four reaches. Preparation of the land use framework has drawn from the many existing studies, strategies and projects occurring within the corridor. The framework aims to strengthen and coordinate existing work and fill gaps where required. Relevant responsible public entities will align their business-as-usual activities to the recommendations of the land use framework in order to deliver outcomes for the Yarra Strategic Plan. Application of the land use framework Once the Yarra Strategic Plan is finalised, Clause 12.03-1R ‘Yarra River Protection’ of the Planning Policy Framework found in the Victoria Planning Provisions will be updated, and the final Yarra Strategic Plan will be referenced or incorporated in planning schemes.
